BURNER.

Application filed February 6, 1923. Serial No. 617,212.

To all wiz-m t may concern:

Be it known that l, Fnunnnio BORMANN, a citizen of the United States, residing in Ipswich, in the county of Edmunds and State of South Dakota. have invented a new and useful Burner, of which the following is a speciiication. p

My invention relates to improvements in burners adapted particularly, though not exclusively for use in stoves and furnaces.

One object isto suppl)v a simple, durable and inexpensive liquid fuel burner adapted to be readily applied to the different types of stoves and furnaces.

Another object is to provide a novel device of the present nature, wherein a uniformly high degree of efi'iciency is attained under the different conditions met in the various types of stoves and furnaces.

With the foregoing and other objects in view1 which will appear in the following description, the invention resides in the novel combination and arrangement of parts and in the details ofv construction hereinafter described and claimed.

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a burner embodying my invention, the saine being shown in connection with a stove, which is illustrated in section and Fig. 2 is a perspec- 30 tive view of the burner unit.

Referring to the drawings, it will be observed that my improvement includes abase A, a coil B supported on the base and a spreader plate C within the coil. The burner may be placed in any of the usual types of stoves or furnaces with the legs 1U of the base resting upon the stove or furnace grate 11. Said base is designed to form a generating fluid receptacle 12 in which is laced asbestos wool 12a or other non-combustible absorbent material. The coil B consists of a pipe bent in a number of loops 7) as shown in Fig. 2. Said coil rests on its side in the fluid receptacle 12, the ends t thereof being `ioined through feed pipe branches 13 with a feed conduit l-t leading to a source of liquid fuel supply. The ends YJ of the coil B are preferably connected with the fuel conduit 1 4.- outside the walls of a stove or furnace so that no joints or connections will be subjected to the heat therein. A feed valve 15 and check valve 16 of suitable conventional types are incorporated in the supply conduit 14. A gas outlet opening 17 formed in the lower turn necting arms 18 to an upright hanger bar 19. ,A piny 2O anchored in a depending flange 2l on the base A is selectively inserted in a plurality of apertures 19a formed inthe hanger bar 19. Hooks 19b on the lower end of said bar 19 are formed to cat-ch the bale 22 carrying a weight 23. The branches 222L of the bale 22 are of considerable length to permit the hooking of thev bale in any of the various hooks 19b without interference between the lower extremity of the bar 19 and the top of the weight 23. The bar 19 hangs in any convenient position between the bars of the grate 11 of a Y stoveor furnace to which the burner is applied. The adjustment provided by the hooks 19b permits of the location of the weight 28 at various elevations to suit ash pits of various depths. The vertical adjustment of the spreader rplate C, accomplished by the insertion of the pin 2O in different apertures 19a in the hanger bar 19. provides for suitably spreading the fla-me issuing upward from the gas outlet 17 and thereby produces the desired generating effect in the coil under the various conditions met in the different installations of the burner. The coilBbeing fed from both ends thereof results in uniform generation and output of the gas.

ln use, the asbestos material 122l is first saturated with a generating fluid which is ignited. The heat absorbed by the coil B causes the initial generation of gas from the liquid fuel contained within the loops f thereof. This is followed by the ignition of gas issuing'from the gas opening 17. The burning of the gas creates heat, which is spread outwardly against the turns of the coil B through its length, said heatA serving to continue generation within said coil.

Changes in the specific form of my invention, as herein disclosed, may be made with in the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

soL

1. ln a burner for liquid fuel adapted to be placed in the heating chamber of a stove an upright hanger-bar connected at its upper end with and carrying said plate, said bar having a luralitV of intermediate a ertures therein, a supported pin on the frame for selective insertion in said apertures and a weight having a vertically adjustable connection with said hanger-bar at its lower end.

2. ln a burner for liquid fuel adapted to be placed in the heating chamber of a stove or furnace, a base formed with a generating fluid receptacle and designed to be supported upon the stove grate, a oipe having a plurality `of turns therein forming a coil, said coil resting horizontally in said receptacle, fuel conduits communicating with said coil at both ends thereof, an intermediate loop of said coil being formed at the bottom thereof with an upwardly issuing gas outlet7 a horizontal spreader plate reaching through the coil, an upright hanger-bar connected at its upper end with and carrying' said plate, said bar being weighted at its lower end and having a medial, vertically adjustable mounting on said frame.

3. In a burner for liquid fuel adapted to be placed in the heating chamber of a stove or furnace, a base formed with a generating fluid receptacle and designed to be supported upon the stove grate, a pipe having a plurality of turns therein forming a coil, said coil resting horizontally in said receptacle, fuel conduits communicating with said coil at both ends thereof, an intermediate loop of said coil being formed at the bottom thereof with an upwardly issuing gas outlet, a horizontal spreader plate reaching through the coil, an upright hanger-bar connected at its upper end with and carrying said plate, said bar having a vertically adjustable mounting on said frame.

ln a burner for liquid fuel, a pipe having a plurality of turns therein forming a generating coil, means for supporting said coil horizontally, fuel conduits communieating with said coil at both ends thereof, an intermediate loop of said coil being formed at the bottoni thereof with an upwardly issuing gas outlet, a horizontal spreader plate within the coil and adjustable means for holding said plate at various elevations.

5. ln a device of the class described, a pipe bent niedially in a plurality of turns to form a horizontal generating coil for application to the heating chamber of a stove, the extremities of said pipe being adapted to project outwardly through the walls of the stove for connection with a source of fuel supply, an intermediate loop of said coil being formed at the bottoni thereof with an upwardly issuing gas outlet and a spreader plate disposed horizontally within said coil and adjustable vertically to assume various elevations therein.

ln testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.

FREDERIC HORMANN.
